¹Huai nungin Jakob a pai jela, suahlam tate gam a tungta hi.

¹Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.

²Huan, a et leh, ngaiin, pawn ah tuileh a na oma, kiangah belam hon thum a kual uh: huai tuileh akipan belam honte tui a dawnsak jel uhi: tuileh konga suang om a lian mahmah.

²And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was upon the well's mouth.

³Huan, huailaiah belam hon tengteng a paikhawm jel ua: huan, tuileh kong akipan suang a khuk suan ua, suang tuileh konga a omna ngeiah a koih jel uh.

³And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well's mouth in his place.

⁴Huan, Jakobin, a kiang uah, ka unaute aw, koi lama mi na hi ua? achi a. Huan, amau, Haran kho lam mi ka hi uh, a chi ua.

⁴And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.

⁵Huan, aman, a kiang uah, Nahor tapa Laban na thei uhia? A chi a. Huan, amau, Thei e, a chi ua.

⁵And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.

⁶Huan, aman, a kiang uah, A damlai ahi na hia? a chi a. Huan, amau, Adamlai himah: enin, a tanu Rakil leng belam pi dingin a hongkuan, a chi ua.

⁶And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.

⁷Huchiin, aman, Ngai un, ni sang lai mahmah hi, gan pi khawm leng a hun nai kei: belamte tui dawnsak unla, vakhah un, a chi a.

⁷And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.

⁸Huan, amau, Ka hih theikei ding uh, belam hon tengteng a paikhawm ua, tuileh kong akipan suang a khuk suan mateng un huai khit chiangin belamte tui ka dawnsak jel uhi, a chi ua.

⁸And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep.

⁹Huan, amau a houpih laiin Rakil a pa belamte piin a hongtungta; aman a ching jel hi.

⁹And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep; for she kept them.

¹⁰Huan, hichi ahi a, Jakobin a nu sanggampa Laban tanu Rakil leh a nu sanggampa Laban belam hon a muhin Jakobin a vanaih a, tuileh kong akipan suang a khuk suana, a nu sanggampa belamte tui a dawnsak hi.

¹⁰And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.

¹¹Huan, Jakob in Rakil a tawpa, ngaihtakin a kapta.

¹¹And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.

¹²Huan, Jakob in a pa tupa ahihleh Rebeka tapa ahi chih Rakil a hilha: Rakil a taia, a pa a vahilhta hi.

¹²And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son: and she ran and told her father.

¹³Huan, hichi ahia, Labanin a sanggamnu tapa Jakob tanchin a jaktakin, a dawn dingin a taia, huan, a poma a tawpa, a inah a pita. Huan, Jakob in huai thu tengteng Laban a hilh.

¹³And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.

¹⁴Laban in, a kiangah, kaguh leh ka sa mahmah na hi, achia. Huan, kha khat a kiangah a omta hi.

¹⁴And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.

¹⁵Huan, Laban in, Jakob kiangah, ka tupa na hih jiakin a mawkin kana na sem ding ahi maw? Bang na loh dia? Honhilh in, achia.

¹⁵And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?

¹⁶Huan, Labanin tanu nih a neia: a upajaw min Lea ahia, a naupang jaw min Rakil ahi.

¹⁶And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

¹⁷Huan, lea mit a nou a, Rakil bel chinou hoihtak ahia, a mel leng a hoih mahmah.

¹⁷Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favored.

¹⁸Huan, Jakob in Rakil a ita, huchiin, na tanu naupang jaw Rakil toh kiteng dingin kum sagih na na ka sem ding, achia.

¹⁸And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.

¹⁹Huan, Laban in, amah ahihleh midang kianga ka piak sangin na kianga ka piak mah hoihzo ve: ka kiangah om nilouhin, achia.

¹⁹And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.

²⁰Huchiin, Jakob in Rakil a kitenpih dingin kum sagih a na a sepsak ta a; himahleh a it mahmah jiakin ni sawtlou chik bangin a thei hi.

²⁰And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.

²¹Huan, Jakob in Laban kiangah, ka kithuahpih theihna dingin ka ji hon peve leh, ka hun lah a kimta ngal a, achia.

²¹And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.

²²Huchiin, Laban in huai khua a mi tengteng a kaikhawm veka, ankuang a luita hi.

²²And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.

²³Huan, hichi ahia, khomial tungin a tanu Lea a pia, Jakob kiangah a piluta; huan, amah ana kithuahpih a.

²³And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.

²⁴Huan, Laban in a sikhanu Zilpa a tanu Lea kiangah a sikhanu dingin a pia hi.

²⁴And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid.

²⁵Huan, hichi ahia, jingsang a hong hihin, ngaiin, Lea a nahita a: huchiin Jakob in, Laban kiangah, ka tunga na thilhih bangchidan ahia? Rakil toh kiteng dingin na na ka sem kahia? Bangjiaka honkhem maimah na hia? Achia.

²⁵And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?

²⁶Huan Laban in, ka gam uah huchibanga ta upajaw ma a a naupang jaw paisak dan ahi kei hi.

²⁶And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.

²⁷Hiai minu ni sagih zou tadih inla, huchiin, kum sagih dang kana nasep sikin midang nu leng ka hon pe ding uh, achia.

²⁷Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.

²⁸Huchiin, Jakob in Huchibangin a hiha, ni sagih a zou ta a; huchiin, a tanu Rakil ji dingin a peta hi.

²⁸And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.

²⁹Huan, Laban in a sikhanu Bilha a tanu Rakil kiangah a sikha dingin a pia hi.

²⁹And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.

³⁰Huan, Rakil leng a kithuahpih a, Lea sangin Rakil a it jaw a, Laban na kum sagih dang a sem ta.

³⁰And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.

³¹Huan, Toupan Lea pen huatin a om chih a theia, huchiin a sul a honsaka; Rakil bel a chiing a.

³¹And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.

³²Huan, Lea a gaia, tapa a neia, amin dingin Reuben a sa a: Toupan ka gimdan a muh jiak ahi: tunjaw ka pasal in a honit ta ding, achia.

³²And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.

³³Huan, a gai nawna, tapa a nei nawna; Toupan huatin ka om chih a jak jiak in hial leng a honpia hi, achia, huchiin a min dingin Simeon a sa a.

³³And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.

³⁴Huan, a gai nawna, tapa anei nawna; tu in tapa thum ka neihsak jiakin, ka pasal in a hon juita ding, achia: huaijaikin a min dingin Levi a sa a.Huan, a gai nawna, tapa a nei nawna a: tu nung in jaw toupa ka phat ding, achia: huaijaikin amin dingin Juda a sa a; huan, ta a nei nawn tadih kei.

³⁴And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.

³⁵Huan, a gai nawna, tapa a nei nawna a: tu nung in jaw toupa ka phat ding, achia: huaijaikin amin dingin Juda a sa a; huan, ta a nei nawn tadih kei.

³⁵And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.
